Vince 28 Report post Posted December 16, 2012 I have sent links of the teams to the organisers and gave them an outline idea of what to expect on the weekend. We are booked into the hotel. I like the idea of civilised travel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the idea of civilised travel. Hi Vince, I wondered if tapes and stakes for a defined 'parking area' would be a good idea? Felix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vince 28 Report post Posted December 17, 2012 I think the setting will be similar to Dunstable or Herrington. I think an arena may trigger there events procedures and could complicate preparations. A parking area may be an easier option than an arena. Do you feel we need a parking area. We will need some tape. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Felix 183 Report post Posted January 1, 2013 Just in case anyone needs a reminder here is the link to the first super 16 flight. Felix Just looking for the correspondence and found this link which shows exactly what happened <grins> There are drawings of moves in this thread as well...

KiteLife 191 Report post Posted January 3, 2013 I think one of the key light-wind items in this video, is after 2:07 where we start "non-stop" flying with no hanging about. Makes all the difference in the world to keep things moving when there isn't enough wind for a stable hover, even in big groups. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Felix 183 Report post Posted January 3, 2013 It was 'way cool' as an initial experiment with the group of fliers who quickly offered to take part after I suggested the possibility. The fact that the moving issue was resolved 'on the fly' was a demonstration of the committment and the capability of the fliers. Knowing where to go was the key... We have had some equally special moments with the Super 16 concept subsequently especially the final Monday at Portsmouth 2012 where the fliers were 'blown away' by what was flown. Nothing on record in this case but it was just magic! Fly to arrive, fly to return was the key... Hoping to develop this theme at the Shipley Country Park event 12-13/01/2013.

Felix 183 Report post Posted January 13, 2013 Great afternoon at Shipley if a little muddy underfoot. Now Sunday 7:35am and snow has fallen overnight. Only 1cm... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
